One important characteristic of wireless sensor networks is energy stringency. Constructing a connected dominating set (CDS) has been widely used as a topology control strategy to...
Abstract. Is it possible to treat large scale distributed systems as physical systems? The importance of that question stems from the fact that the behavior of many P2P systems is ...
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) are population-based heuristic search methods that use probabilistic models of good solutions to guide their search. When applied to co...
Video on Demand (VoD) services are very appealing these days. In this work, we discuss four distinct alternatives for the architecture of a VoD server and compare their performanc...

Internet topology information is only made available in aggregate form by standard routing protocols. Connectivity information and latency characteristicsmust therefore be inferre...
